Elaina pushes her cousins
Elaina's cousins from Nashville, Sadie and Celia, came to visit this weekend. Elaina loves to push her little car around the house and does it all the time. Well, Sadie and Celia both hopped on the car and Elaina pushed them around on it. Pretty funny considering Sadie is almost 6 and Celia is 4. Pretty funny to watch as Elaina really pushes hard to get them moving. Take a look....
Where have we been??
Nowhere - just busy. So, I've been really bad about updating the blog. We have been enjoying this phase of Elaina's life. Fun - that's the only word to describe it. Here are some pics of the fun we've been having.....
She finally started drinking from a sippy cup, with a straw. She seems so big to me drinking from it....
Just a cute pic.....
A typical moment with her daddy... She's got a great laugh!
Her friend Caitlin had her first birthday party on Sunday. These are some pictures of her and Caitlin in the kiddie pool having a great time. Elaina loves the baby pool as much as the real pool. 
Elaina is 11 months old
June 7th - Elaina turned 11 months old yesterday. Just one more month until the BIG birthday. It's incredible how time flies. Elaina has grown so much. Erik and I watched home videos of Elaina tonight of when she was 3 1/2 months old and both forgot how little she was. It really put a good perspective on how much she has changed.
I don't have a recent weight on Elaina because luckily we've been away from the doctors office. My guess is that she weighs about 21 pounds or so. We have almost completely stopped all her baby food and she is eating just about anything we eat (well, you know, what we can make soft enough and chop up enough). So, she looks like she has beefed up to me - the food has helped with that, I am sure.
This weekend has been a fun one for Elaina. Why you ask? Because she went swimming - not once but twice (and she is going again tomorrow, Sunday, with her granny while Erik and I go to the Smokies game). She did not cry but she did not really crack a smile either for the first 10 minutes or so - she is like her daddy and has to take it all in before she can really begin to like anything well. After then, she really started enjoying herself and splashing the water with her hands. She even stuck her face in voluntarily followed by a funny look and some coughing. She is definately going to enjoy the pool - I have been looking forward to this day of being able to take her swimming. Here some photos of the big event (both days)...

This pic is after she got warmed up to the pool - she really was enjoying herself.
This picture is after she planted her face into the float and realized that was not very fun..

Splashing in the water....
I even got her to lay back on her back and float (with me holding her, of course). She didn't seem to mind.
Post pool snack....a vanilla wafer (her favorite).
Just a sweet video of Elaina....
